I've got a G'ma like that - she must have been a cat in a past live with 9 lives! I'd like to know if that is the sort of job that makes you wake up each morning (or evening!) and be happy to be who you are, doing what you are doing. I am in the middle of the EMT recruitment process (out of London, since LAS nipped that opportunity in the bud!) and need to know if what I am giving up now (house & unfulfilling job in France, to come 'home' to help the 'needy') will be worth it. I've followed this blog for a good while now (cracking book too BTW!) and I think I know the answer or I wouldn't be contemplating it, but insider's support & comments are always nice to have ... Keep up the good work
